One other area of reasoning for the reference to being Dutch. My Bezanson line , from an area of France that spoke French with a German accent, sailed to Canada from Rotterdam, Holland. One line of the family insists it's Dutch on the basis of that, in spite of the multiple proofs that long time family researchers. have to the contrary. In fact one uncle insists that his wife is of Dutch descent because her maiden name is Deuschman. Go figure. Happy researching Ginny
